I suppose I should have inquired if it’s ok to post here…. I read the post in regards to giving feedback/critiques, but didn’t see anything about what’s required. Thanks!

I'm not a moderator, but ..........  

I can say with certainty that it is okay for you and anyone to post flies on this thread, for the purpose of showing others what you/they are tying, whether it be a new tier or one with a lifetime of experience.  

If you want feedback/critique on your flies, you should specifically ask for it, AND be receptive to it.

Thanks Niveker- wasn’t sure if it was only for expert tiers, as all the flies seem to be photographed well, with proper lighting and include materials used with history for some.

As Niveker said, these monthly fly threads are for ALL members to post their flies.  A while back, some people were taking critiques of their flies personally, and the rules were changed a little.  Now, if you want criticism of your efforts, ask and ye shall receive.  But please, DO post your monthly tied flies.  We can't all be professional tiers and photographers, but many of the members seem to be both.

I'm neither.

By all means post your flies, SSqueeze.  Seeing them on line serves as a impetus to keep improving.

If you a member in good standing, PLEASE post your ties!  I love see newer (to me, that is) patterns and different directions fly tying can be taken in.  Besides, if they allow my ugly ties here, ANYONE should feel welcome!

I've been postings for dries lately (my weaker area of tying!).  Here is a combination of a dry and its related nymph wet fly.  Again, from Tom Deschaine's fine work as a fly historian. Enjoy!

Strawman (dry) - Paul Young designed both patterns shown here in the 1930's.  Paul was a recognized tyer and rod builder from Detroit.  The nymph version was developed first and was to be fished either wet or dry.  He saw that other fisher were having great success fishing the nymph dry that he developed this dry pattern.  Each version can be tied in four versions - black hair with gold ribbing (shown on the dry), light hair with yellow floss ribbing (shown on the nymph pattern), brown with black ribbing, and white with silver ribbing. The only difference he made in the designs was a lighter hook and longer cut deer hair for the dry version.

Hook - dry fly, 10-14

Thread - brown

Tail - mallard flank fibers, tied long

Rib - gold flat tinsel

Body - black deer hair. spun with spaces between the spun hair for the rib and cut to ~ the hook gap length

Strawman (Nymph) - Similar to the above.  Also, Paul originally tied this pattern without a rib and on a standard nymph hook.  It is a variation of a fly from Canada that Paul's friend, W. O. Stoddard.  Also, he originally fished this fly dry and changed to a wet after the pattern had taken on water.  This pattern also could be tied in the four color combinations.  This fly is a cased caddis imitation.

Teacher - This simple pattern is from Boyd Senter.  Boyd opened a sporting goods shop after his retirement as an accomplished big band and jazz musician - he played with Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, and Freddie Fisher and led his own jazz band, Boyd Senter and the Senterpedes.  He sold his own patterns in his store as well as repairing instruments for local high school bands.  This is meant as an all-purpose tie with the larger sized flies for summer use and the smaller sized patterns for use in the fall for the BWO's.
